I would like to make a comment about this Spanish dance initiative based in Madrid. They use public spaces to perform and document choreographies of artists in the field. They have a website translated to many languages where they explain their purpose of developing new audiences for dance, and they give the opportunity to participate by sending the documentation of the performance (in public spaces, not theatres, or organiced venues) without editing, for not to be confused with a dance film or video. In fact, dance is an ephemeral art form, and nowadays, thanks to technology and network, can be seen by many, giving the opportunity to artists to show their work to a wider audience.
